ARCTIC ACTION: six Greenpeace activists, including Executive Director Kumi Naidoo, spent several hours hanging off the side of a floating Russia oil platform in the Pechora Sea attached to the rig’s mooring lines. They prepared for a long occupation by bringing up supplies, including the tents.

OVERSTAYED WELCOME: Activists were first offered hot soup, then showered with blasts of cold water and pieces of metal after they stormed the Prirazlomnaya platform and erected climbing tents to protest drilling in the Arctic. When the metal began flying the group planned to evacuate.
